    Indeed. I've opted for this Lexus as I had already 6 points on my license for speeding and I needed something less enthusiastic to drive...😬

    Is300h is definitely not a car for petrolheads. I'm coming from a 330d and I'm also quite disappointed with some stuff. The only thing Lexus can't be beat is at reliability.

    Very good! Which ODB device as I only have an USB one to connect to computer?
  4. BrunoLeal
    Yes, I do know that. Many thanks.

    I had already given up, but you were absolutely right. With the "handbrake" it works. Thank you so much! This is to put some videos in an usb pen for my daughter to watch when we are parking waiting for mummy or something...:)

    Yes, but I wad trying to see if someone knew which codec so I don't try to reinvent the wheel here trying multiple codecs and resolutions...
  7. BrunoLeal
    I see the option there for videos. It finds the video files (mp4) and the screen when playing them is like a video with a video window. The only problem is that it doesn't show the video, everything blue, which makes me wonder that the codec is not supported.
  8. BrunoLeal
    No, mp4 videos from usb pen.

    Hello, On my 2014 IS300H I've tried to play some mp4 videos, but it only plays sound, video shows blue. The car is in park as I know it should only work in this gear and so I'm wondering if someone have already successfully played videos in the car and if so which codec and resolution was used in the mp4 files. Thanks in advance, Bruno

    I see...I then believe it's too much hassle for the advantages of it. Just really can't understand why car manufactors don't provide proper costumer service with these kinds of "updates" even with additional costs...

    How can I have this in my car? 😊 Also I have a problem where my car shows the odometer only in miles. Will this same technology help somehow to reprogram it to show kms too?

    @lexusmoon or @Inazone can any of you share the mounting instructions so I can evaluate if I can do it myself? 🙂

    Thanks. It's not cheap, but looks great!!! Well done!!!

    If you don't mind me asking, how much was it?

    Anyone know how to lock the car after disconnecting the battery or should I lock the car with the trunk open, disconnect the battery and then close the trunk? Also, can I open the trunk with the key after returning home in order to reconnect the battery? Thank you all, Bruno

    It's just my opinion and not because its6an hybrid. I did this in all my automatic cars. What's the difference in effort between putting the car in park mode or neutral plus hand brake?
  17. BrunoLeal
    I never use neutral. When I stop and stay in the car I either leave the car in normal with brakes on or Park mode. In automatic cars Neutral should be only used very rarely and in specific situations like the car behing pulled.

    I do every day a journey of 20 miles to work (40 miles total) with highway for most of the time (engine working). I believe my battery it's already at the end of life and probably it will have to be replaced at the anual maintenance in October, but till then I wanted this one to last... 🙂 it was working fine (2 weeks was not enough to have issues starting the car). Now it seems that 2 weeks is already too much so I'll just hope it doesn't get completely drained in 3 weeks so when I return at least I don't have to reset windows, etc... 🙂
  19. BrunoLeal
    Many thanks for the reply. Not sure what to do here. What exactly is needed to reset windows, power locks etc as I know that when I return from my trip one way or the other the battery will be gone? 🙂

    Unfortunately I live in a estate with underground parking but no access to electricity plugs. Is there any option for portable battery maintenance? Something like the boost device I have but to keep battery loaded for a few weeks? Many thanks guys, Bruno
  21. BrunoLeal
    Writing here so I don't create a new post about the same topic. Any idea on how to manage this when you have no electricity plug available to connect a maintenance battery to the car? I have a portable remote charger boost which I used today after the car was parked for 15 days and had not enough battery charge to start properly. Soon I'll be 3 weeks away and wanted to avoid the battery to be completely empty when back. thanks, Bruno

    Since I can't find any used or aftermarket option to fix this and Lexus wants more than 160eur to fit this in, I was thinking to buy the aftermarket carbon fiber ones which cost me less than 80eur from China. Does anyone fit these in an IS300h or GS or CT? Thanks, Bruno
  23. BrunoLeal
    Hi all, Do you know any online shop (or physical in Ireland) that sells mirror covers (just the plastic)? I've just broken it against a garbage bin and I was trying to avoid Lexus due to their insane prices. I'm still waiting for a quote from them, but I suppose I will not like the numbers. Thanks in advance, Bruno
  24. BrunoLeal
    well said. And if it's reliability one is searching for I recommend Merc 190D...old school engines that easily do more than 500k... 😎
  25. BrunoLeal
    😁 Perfection is subjective yes, but what we are discussing here is simple stuff...for example never had any issue with cold/hot air in my old VW EOS, built 10 years before than my lexus...
